Allentown Fair turns into 'oversized carnival'

Opinion: Allentown Fair continues to dwindle away

As a longtime goer to the Allentown Fair, it seems to me that for the past several years the fair continues to dwindle away.

A lot of things that were once there are gone as evident if one walks through the farmers market building where at one time there used to be a lot more different vendors. Also take away all the trucks that seem to clog up the area near the market building, and you're left with nothing more than an oversized carnival.
